[quote=Anonymous]First, I don’t have a “no lying” policy. Teenagers lie. It’s developmentally normal. I imagine you lied as a teen. Do you punish your teens when you find out they lie? It’s creates a terrible cycle of secrecy and animosity. Second, my teen would likely tell me outright (because I don’t punish, so they aren’t scared). We’d have a conversation about drunkenness, health, loss of control, how drinking makes us vulnerable to being recorded, humiliated, rape (i have daughters), etc. That’s it. We’d go on with our day.
